I felt it when I began making more from it than from my 9-5 job. It never ceases to amaze me how I can go to bed and wake up having earned $100+ out of thin air. And the next day, and the next day, etc. That's a feeling most average people never get to experience.
As I always say, there's peaks and valleys in this business. There's times I don't earn shit. And other times shouting "Thank you Australia! Thank you Canada!" So I've never left the security of my 9-5.
Sometimes I overhear coworkers speaking to each other, lamenting over financial situations. Such as how they're going to buy gasoline to get to and from work until payday. (The pay is good, some people just can't manage their money.) And I'm thinking to myself, "I've got thousands of dollars in the bank. Payday doesn't mean shit to me. I'm so lucky."
I'm about as small-time as it gets. So what I earn at the moment isn't enough to quit my 9-5 and live on exclusively (yet). But its a considerable addition to my normal income, and I don't want for anything.
For those out there struggling to earn something substantial, don't give up. It takes time.
